All indications, as of now, is that the company is not having a hard time hiring pilots. Obviously that can change quickly. The biggest worry right now, IMO, is the training backlog that will begin sometime early 2015. That is a good thing for pilots in training (extra time off waiting for OE) and a bad thing for qualified line pilots (not enough pilots on line = a lot flying, with less days off than if properly staffed). Some people like to fly a lot though.

I know you are struggling with your decision to leave or stay at your current airline. When I came to Compass, I felt the same way. Since showing up to class though, I have not looked back. Easily the best decision of my career, which had been proceeded by many bad decisions(In hindsight). For me, Compass is the best regional I have worked for. The chief pilots we have now, are incredible. I like the pilots I fly with, training is good, plane is easy to fly, and there are quite a few very efficient parings to bid for. Bottom line, I guess I have just been treated better, here at Compass, than any other airlines I have been at. I don't think it is just me either because, of the people that I have flown with/talked to at Compass who came from other airlines, 100% of them said they made a good decision.

Hopefully that will also be true for you. Good luck in your decision.
